[Expired] KeyBank $300 Bonus for New Checking Accounts (Select Areas)

KeyBank is offering once again a $300 bonus available in certain areas. We have seen this bonus in the past, but this time around the best account option has been removed. If you haven’t had an account in the last 12 months, then take a look to see if you’re eligible. 

Bonus Requirements

You can qualify for your $300 when you:

• Open your Key Advantage, Key Privilege, or Key Privilege Select Checking account by May 31, 2019 with promo code OASP0119
• Make ONE single direct deposit of at least $500 within 60 days after account opening.

Eligibility

Offer available in the following markets ONLY: Cleveland, OH, Akron/Canton, OH, Pittsburgh, PA, Hartford, CT, New Haven, CT, Seattle, WA, Denver, CO, Albany, NY, Syracuse, NY, Rochester, NY, and Buffalo, NY. Offer is available to clients who do not have or haven’t had a KeyBank checking account during the past 12 months.

Fees

The Key Advantage Checking Account has a $18 monthly fee that can be waived with any of these options:

1. Any combination of balances from your KeyBank checking, savings deposit, certificates of deposit, retirement deposits, investment* (including annuity balances reflected on your KIS account statement) and credit accounts was $10,000.00 or more.
2. You have a KeyBank originated mortgage and you have automatic payment deducted via ACH deducting $500.00 or more from your Key Advantage Money Market Checking account during a statement cycle. If your mortgage automatic payment deduction plan should be discontinued, you may be subject to the combined balance requirements to avoid the monthly Maintenance Service Charge.
3. You are a Key@Work program member and you have direct deposits totaling $1000.00 or more credited to your Key Advantage Money Market Checking account during a statement cycle. If you leave your current employer and direct deposits are discontinued, you may be subject to the combined balance requirement to avoid the monthly Maintenance Service Charge until direct deposits are reinstated by your new employer.

There’s an early termination fee of $25 if account is closed within 180 days.

Guru’s Wrap-Up

A decent bonus for those who qualify, but now the Key Express checking account that was easy to keep fee-free is no longer included. You get $300 if you open a new account and make one single direct deposit of at least $500 within 60 days after account opening. You do not qualify if you have had a KeyBank checking account during the past 12 months.
